Ouch. Why are Taylor's positives so low, and negatives so high?

Probably because Insider Advantage/Matt Towery makes up their polls.

Also, Mark Taylor did not have taxpayers pay for millions of dollars of TV ads about him saving old people from investment fraud. That could have something to do with it.

taxpayers didn't pay for the ads, you know that.

No disrespect intended, but the more likely reason for Taylor's low numbers is that Georgia is ready for a change, and they see Taylor as part of a failed status quo.
